Video: MSNBC quotes WhiteHouse.org on Falwell’s political influence

Yeah, WhiteHouse.org. The most infamous, relentlessly anti-Bush parody site on the ‘Net.

You can imagine how it played out. Producer to intern: “We need a fawning description of him from the White House website to show how influential he was with conservatives.” Intern to producer: “Great! I’ll just google white house falwell…”

I was enjoying breakfast in my kitchen, righteously poring over my daily foot-high stack of mostly gay hardcore pornography so that I might issue informed denunciations to my flock. I had just paused to admire the contours of my third helping of some especially handsome kielbasa, when suddenly there was that awful parody staring at me from the pages of Hustler!

And yet, when they realized what they’d done, they couldn’t admit their mistake. Watch what the anchor says at the end to “clarify” the earlier report. There’s no admission that they were fooled; on the contrary, she implies that they meant to quote WH.org and merely didn’t want to leave viewers with the impression that it’s the official White House site.

Needless to say, she also doesn’t mention that the site is viciously anti-Bush. (Although Matthews, to his credit, does.)

The fact that these broadcast talking heads sound just as deadly earnest reading from a parody site as when they are describing some outbreak of fighting just shows they can be easily replaced by computer generated images, that is if they haven’t been already.

what’s there? if it were only the post itself, it would just be satire, but following it are nearly 100 comments from credulous progressives who are not only ready to believe, but eager to hate. and that’s what they do. like a hundred julias, screeching, “B B, B B,..!”

despite everything, i don’t resent progressives enough to believe they’re as stupid as they present themselves in these situations. what it is, is much scarier. what it is, is they hate us. they shake our hands, they hang out with us after work, they bring the misdelivered mail by, come in, have a beer, all the regular stuff you’d anticipate of friends and family. but the whole time they are prepossessed with a roiling hind-brain hatred of everyone who doesn’t think exactly like they do.

all satire is on some level strawman. progressives’ satire of non-progressives is effigy. these ostensibly imbecilic people lashing out at clearly fake bloggers are neither completely oblivious nor are they playing along. they are entranced in a sort of fey state, hating the “other” without limit in an arena preparedfor it. a padded room for them to have their psychotic breaks from the tension between their demand for social community and their utter innability to cope with the human tendency towards individualism.

Hmmmm…two words come to mind, one, referring to her non existant mental capabilities, ie, DUMB, the second is a derogative perjorative term referencing the female anatomy between the thighs…..four letters..starts with “C”….ehhh you can figure it out from there.
